I am not so sure about that. It is simple and intuitive if you have
_temporary_ transient-mark-mode enabled, possibly by using the mouse.
In this case we have an explicit act that set up the region. However,
for people that use pc-selection-mode or just transient-mark-mode,
there often is an _unintended_ transient region. I am not so sure
that it is intuitive in that case if it affects the word commands.
Now I am of the opinion that _permanent_ transient-mark-mode and its
cousins are an abomination in user interface design if I ever saw one.
But they are something we _also_ need to think of when saying
something like "at least with transient-mark-mode".
With _temporary_ transient-mark-mode, I share your opinion. But not
with the permanent one.
